2.7 Sweeping
Sweeping is a feature used to vary the output value continuously and smoothly toward main setting
(MAX) or main setting (MIN) over the specified sweep time. Sweeping cannot be used in high
resolution mode.
It is used to move the meter’s needle from the minimum scale value to 120% of the maximum scale
value at a constant speed and check whether the needle is sticky when it moves. You can select the
sweep time according to the meter type. To sweep a wide-angle meter, you can select a long sweep
time to move the needle slowly.
Setup example: Main setting (MAX) = 10 A, main setting (MIN) = 0 A
The sweep time is the time for sweeping between 0% and 100% by assuming (MAX – MIN) to be
100%. Select 8, 16, 32, or 64 approximate seconds.
